There are plenty of great Apple deals this Black Friday 2024—but not from Apple directly. As usual, Apple keeps its discounts minimal (Tim Cook loves his big fat profits!). This year, you can get up to a $200 gift card with select purchases, but the newest products, like the iPhone 16, M4 MacBook Pros, iMac, and Apple Watch Ultra 2, aren’t included.
That said, third-party retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and B&H Photo are offering significant discounts on a ton of Apple gear. From AirPods to iPhones, Apple Watches, and iPads, you’ll find some fantastic deals. Here’s a roundup of the best offers we’ve come across.

Does Apple offer Black Friday deals?
Apple generally avoids deep discounts throughout the year, including on Black Friday. Instead, as in past years, the company tends to offer Apple gift cards with the purchase of major products like iPhones, iPads, and Macs. The same goes for 2024: Apple is offering gift cards up to $200 with select purchases. However, keep in mind that the latest products, including the iPhone 16, M4 MacBook Pros, and Apple Watch Ultra 2, are not part of the promotion.
Where can I find the best Apple deals on Black Friday?
Although Apple isn’t known for offering the best deals, many third-party retailers will have significant discounts for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Amazon, in particular, is expected to offer a range of deals on Apple devices, including iPads and Apple Watches. For AirPods, Amazon is likely to discount AirPod Pro 2 to $159 after the earbuds briefly hit that price point earlier this wek, before reverting to $169, which is still a good deal (regularly $249). Other major retailers like Best Buy, Target, B&H Photo, and will also be slashing prices on Apple products to attract shoppers during the holiday sales season.
